uses; now it is for short stuff for work. 

 The local retailers have been reported 

 recently as not especially busy, but 

 they are busy now. The local buyers 

 are, in many cases, loud in their pro- 

 testations, both at the prices asked and 

 at the fact that the stock they covet is 

 set aside for shipping orders. In their 

 anxiety for flowers some of them bid 

 up, with the result that the others, 

 whose trade is of a less flush character, 

 find it difficult to meet the price and 

 make a profit. 



The growers do not all look on the 



situation in the same way. Some of 

 them, especially those who sell through 

 middlemen, consider that this is the 

 time to get the money while the get- 

 ting is good, but others, and this in-

 retailers, feel that enough is enough 

 and that it is not wise to crowd prices 

 so high that buying will stop. Never- 

 theless, competition in buying is send- 

 ing prices steadily higher, although a 

 few weeks later competition in selling 

 is practically certain to send them down 

 again far faster. 



There have been many other seasons 

 when there was a squeeze at this time 

 of year and when retailers declared 

 they could not pay the prices and come 

 out with a profit, but there is this dif- 

 ference: Whereas, in other years they 

 actually stopped buying, this time they 

 keep right on taking all the flowers 

 they can get. A few regular buyers 

 have dropped out, but a dozen times as 

 many transients would like to take 

 their place, promising, "Help me out 

 now and my trade is yours always."
